UK Live Cattle Imports – Important Update

According to DEFRA, Arc Forwarding Ltd were the last declarant to successfully complete an import of live cattle before the UK suspended live cattle imports in 2024.

Following the lifting of the suspension in 2026, Arc Forwarding Ltd have also made history by becoming the first declarant to successfully complete an import declaration for live cattle into the UK.

Live cattle can now be imported into the UK, subject to the relevant import requirements and controls. This includes cattle being retained at the place of destination for 30 days, with samples taken during this period for Bluetongue testing.

This marks an important step forward for the movement of live cattle into the UK and demonstrates the importance of ensuring that all customs and veterinary requirements are correctly followed.

Arc Forwarding Ltd are proud to have played a part in this significant milestone. 🇬🇧🐄
